There's no sense in allowing userspace to create more engines than it
can possibly access via execbuf.

Maybe add a comment like /* RING_MASK has not shift, so can be used
directly here */ since I had to check that :-)

Same story about igt testcases needed, just to be sure.

I am not sure about the churn vs benefit ratio here. There are also patches
which extend the engine selection field in execbuf2 over the unused
constants bits (with an explicit flag). So churn upstream and churn in
internal (if interesting) for not much benefit.

This isn't churn.

This is "lock done uapi properly".

IMO it is a "meh" patch. Doesn't fix any problems and will create work for other people and man hours spent which no one will ever properly account against.

Number of contexts in the engine map should not really be tied to execbuf2. As is demonstrated by the incoming work to address more than 63 engines, either as an extension to execbuf2 or future execbuf3.
